Description

Our new aluminum coolant tank is just what is needed for replacing the troublesome plastic stock tanks in your Vanagon. Made from 100% aluminum and hand tig welded for strength and durability. Offered in three different configurations, this tank will fit your stock bracket for a 1.9L or 2.1L. A bracket for the Subaru conversion mounting is also available. Comes with the correct nipple configuration for your vehicle application and a new MTC coolant level sensor installed. Stant Lev-R vented pressure release cap set at 16# is also included. Please Note: We have recently changed the level sensor system, picture may not be reflect what is current.

sadly the tank is leaking coolant where the temperature sensor threads into the tank.

Should be standard in all vans!

RMW's "Tank" is the bomb! After my Subaru conversion, first the cap leaked several times. So, I tightened it real good, which made the cheesy plastic coolant bottle threads blow, so no cap would hold. Oh and the brand new sensor leaked as well. Again, probably a plastic threading issue.

This product is solid A+ construction as expected from RMW. There is no way it is leaking - end of story! - new sensor is super easy to wire-up- the bracket is solid and the holes match perfectly with the regular VW coolant bottle bracket from RMW, so no re-drilling when you upgrade- the package includes instructions and all the bolts necessary to install bracket to the van and the bottle to the bracket (different from a previous person's review)- the bottom nipple is std. size, so no weird reducing hose or adapter is needed. Awesome!- narrower than the VW bottle, so fits easier in the engine bay

Total install time (removing old & adding the Tank): ~2 hrs for a beginner mechanic

You no longer get to see the coolant level just by looking at the tank. just have to rely on the gauge working or just pop the lid off. Other than that there is no way this thing would ever spring a leak. I had a buddy who blew an engine thanks to a cracked expansion tank which inspired me to get this baby.

The TANK!!

I love this product, easy to install, looks great and hopefully is as tough as appears. My only disappointment is that it did not come with new mounting screws to complete the look.
